Tom Herman, come on down (Report: LSU honing in on signing Herman)

I think it's about the meeting tomorrow with UT and Herman.

 

I'm not that excited about going to a spread offense. I'd much rather stick with pro style. Also I fear Herman is fool's gold.

 

@shane0911 promised he wasn't going to Texas, so deal with it. Other people say Fisher is a done deal. Others say Ogeron and the offensive genius Kiffen (if so, Saban wins again by having people believe this douche is worth a shit).

 

Jimbo will be laughing all the way to the bank with his new $7M/yr contract at FSU. Herman will be in burnt orange by Saturday evening. O will be the HC at LSU. KiffIn will still be in Crimson at Bama as he ain't leaving the routine #1 recruiting classes and probability of continuous Play Off appearances to come to a place that can't reach higher than mid-tier bowls. Another 2 seasons of play off births, if that long, he'll be making $4M-$5M/yr as a HC somewhere.

LSU fans on the other hand will learn quickly, and to the their dismay that coach O is good for 8-9 wins a season and we replaced bobble head with a Cajun for the same results, just a flashier offense.

 

I think Eaux is a laissez-faire Miles and hires the assistants to succeed. I can't get the idea that Fisher is in play out my craw.

 

I like O a lot but think he belongs as a position coach. I just see an accent behind a flashier offense that will succeed against the lesser teams and underperform against the big games. O will not take LSU to the promise land, if I am wrong I will gladly eat crow and announce to the entire forum here I'm a tard, but I just don't see it happening.

Fisher is not in play any longer, that ship sailed, and he ain't coming here. Sexton did for Fisher what he was supposed to do, get more stipulations and money in that contract of his.

 

Maybe I'm more gullible than you; I thought Miles would do better this year and I didn't think our offense would go retard against Bama. I'm ok if it's Eaux, if done correctly. He's done a pretty good job all things considered and we aren't mathematically out of the Sugar Bowl (which is insane, but I also think we're one of the best teams in the nation).

One thing that interests me is that Eaux seems less willing to put up with bullshit than Miles. Valentine (and Key this weekend?) was demoted/held back because of lack of dedication to the team. I think Miles' patience with bullshit was like a worm in the gut. Is Eaux too much of a hard arse (or maybe it's Jenkins).

 

To make the Sugar we have to rely on the stars aligning much like we did in '07 when everyone we needed to lose lost on that final weekend. Will it happen again? Who knows. I hope it does, but I'm tired of seeing LSU needing a certain multitude of teams losing to make certain big games.
